About the Author
Moira Marjorie Dunn
Memoirist | Genealogist | Legal Assistant | Global Citizen
Moira Marjorie Dunn is an Anglo-Indian American author, legal professional, and self-taught genealogist with over 40 years of research experience spanning continents and centuries. Based in Arizona, she has lived across India, the UK, Australia, and the United States—forming a global lens that defines her worldview and enriches her writing.
In I Am My Own Ancestor, her literary debut, Moira weaves together a haunting personal memoir with meticulous genealogical research to confront the generational myths and emotional injustices that have shaped—and shadowed—her family history.
Driven by the trauma of being ostracized within her own bloodline, Moira took it upon herself to trace her paternal and maternal lineage through both archival documentation and DNA analysis. Her work, previously featured in the Devon Family History Society, reflects the rigor of a trained historian and the heart of a lifelong truth-seeker.
Notable Highlights:
- Author of I Am My Own Ancestor, a memoir 80 years in the making
- Expert in ancestral DNA mapping, legacy documentation, and family myth debunking
- Former Paralegal and Legal Assistant with decades of litigation support experience
- Contributor to international genealogy communities and forums
- Passionate advocate for intergenerational healing and historical clarity
Through her writing, Moira lends a voice to the invisible, a name to the forgotten, and dignity to those misrepresented by the stories others told about them.
